FAIRFAX ROSES— THE ARISTOCRATS OF ROSEDOM 
CHINA ROSES 
These are the Roses of our grandmother’s days, but on account of their sterling qualities they 
are still popular and are worthy of planting in any garden. The range of color is considerable, 
and their absolute hardiness, ease of culture, fragrance and adaptability to adverse conditions 
make them popular and valuable varieties. 
Price of these six kinds, mailing size, 1 
Champion of the World. Pink. It is 
quite hardy and possesses that delicious old- 
fashioned Rose fragrance so much sought after 
in an everblooming variety. 
Clothilde Soupert. Pink. A strong, 
vigorous grower. The flowers are large, double 
and beautiful in form, in the style of the 
beautiful Rose, Ball of Snow. They are borne 
in sprays, and the color blends from a soft 
shell-pink to a pure, satiny white. Roses 
with both these colors are borne on the same 
plant at the same time. Unequalled in flower- 
ing qualities.

bright China-rose, with coppery yellow center,

long to be remembered — a wealth of color shown by no other class of plant.

vigorous climber but may be kept pruned back 
to a large size bush rose. The blooms are the

Philaclelphia Crimson Kaml>ler. This 
splendid new variety differs from the old 
Crimson Rambler in having a brighter, deeper 
and more intense color, and flowers that are 
j)crfectly double to the center; very durable 
and of excellent substance. It is a very profuse 
bloomer and a good, healthy grower, producing 
splendid clusters of perfectly double and in- 
tensely brilliant flowers, absolutely free from 
the faded appearance so frequently seen in 
flowers of the ordinary Crimson Rambler.

2-ycar plants, 40 cts. 
White Dorothy. Exquisitely beautiful, 
vigorous novelty. This Rose has all the merits

pure white and are borne in clusters completely 
covering the plant and contrasting most 
beautifully with the brilliant green foliage.

soil and frequently reaches a height of 30 feet in 
a single .sca.=on. It is hardy everywhere with- 
out protection. Price, mailing .size, 15 cts.;

bination of .soft white flowers, pink buds and 
green foliage is indeed charming. Price, 10 cts.; 
from 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; 2-year plants, 40 cts.
